I got a idea for tie rods I think you guys will like. 

So they have these heim joints that have left and right hand threads that weld to round pipe. 

So the 3/8 heim joints will weld to 3/4 inch tube. I can get the a 3' round tube for about $12 and a set of 4 joints I can get for around $30

All I got to do is cut the tube to length and weld it on.

I've seen these on some tractors at the Big Show.

Be sure to use tubing with an adequate wall thickness

That is true but the ones I am looking at are made to be used with 3/4 " 16ga wall thickness that's what fits the weldable sleeve.

You’ll also want to confirm clearances at the center steering shaft and the spindle arms.
